Personal Memoir Writers Workshop Day 1

No man is an island,Entire of itself,Every man is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the less.As well as if a promontory were.As well as if a manor of thy friend'sOr of thine own were:Any man's death diminishes me,Because I am involved in mankind,And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. No Man Is An Islandby John Donne (1572-1631)Poetry packet/pptResponseWreck the poem down to 5 lines to capture the main idea On your sheet cross out all but 5 lines that you think capture the poems message

My InspirationWhy does the bell toll? For whom does the bell toll? The song (sound) of solitudeWhy the sudden song of the bells? It belongs here even though it breaks the silence, Is a part of this place like winter has its snow. Does it sound for the squirrels scurrying over the ground? Does it ring out the cries of the wind?Does it ring out the cries of the wind? Maybe it tolls for the people who pass While the notes echo on the ground.
